2021 SEDC Regional Spelling Bee Competition and Results

The top 3 spellers from Millard, Beaver, Iron and Washington counties competed on April 13, 2021 to crown the top three spellers in the SEDC Region. For reference, our region is the geographical size of West Virginia and includes over 50 thousand students in over 100 schools. Even just being a part of this competition is a big honor!

• 2nd Place: Ryeesa Rose from Fiddlers Elementary in Iron County. Out on ‘diffidence’ in Round 16
